Control Cards
Control cards are used to specify requests and solver settings and are placed after the EG card in the .pre file.
Card | Description |
---|---|
A0 | Defines a linear polarised plane wave incident on the structure. |
A1 | Defines an excitation by means of a voltage gap on a segment (impressed electric field strength along a segment). |

A3 | Defines an excitation by means of a magnetic ring current (TEM-frill) on a segment to model a coaxial feed. |
A5 | Defines an excitation by means of an electric Hertzian dipole. The position and orientation in space are arbitrary. |
A6 | Defines an excitation by means of an magnetic Hertzian dipole. The position and orientation in space are arbitrary. |
A7 |
Defines an excitation by means of a voltage gap on an edge between two triangles. This card has been generally replaced by the AE card. |

The excitation is due to the electromagnetic fields radiated by these line currents. |
